Why Convert Your Studio Tapes, U-Matic and Betacam Tapes to Digital Files or DVD?

The evolution of studio video tapes is even more complex than the consumer grade tape video tapes. From 2 inch quad (quadruplex video tape) that was introduced in the 1950s to 1” Type C open reel helical scan video tape that became the standard in the 1970s to the many different types of SD and HD digital tape formats some of which are still used today, these video tape recorders/players are very large and heavy and many times difficult to find in working order.
